Forum Overclocking : Motherboards [Solved] Cant boot bios but can boot windows

When I turn my computer on I am able to boot to windows but if I try to boot the bios the computer doesn't cycle power but restarts as soon as I press delete to access bios burring boot. I have done some mild overclocking (4.2ghz 1.230v i7 2600k) my motherboard is a MSI p67 gd55. I have accessed the bios several times at these clocks before and it is stable for a few hours of prime 95 stress test. Any ideas why I cant get to my bios?

The bios storing o'c settings?
When you rebooted to bios did it save your settings from the last o'c attempt?
Normal occurence for some boards.

maybe just a weird glitch.. if/when it happens again clear cmos. could be a bad bios chip as well.
